Indeed, the init has the lz suffix, but boot sequence and preparation is exactly the same as in the howto's. I had to enable swap two times though. Once while being in the patchstick when formatting the ext3 / dev/sda4 and once after the kexec jump. The Ubuntu installer runs out of memory so I issued an alt-F2 and opened a terminal (xterm or xfce4- console, not sure right now). A simple swapon /dev/sda5 solved that glicht. Before booting you should address the grub menu.lst mentioned in my first post.
